What You'll Be Doing Design and implement data pipelines and integration services connecting ASOT platforms to modernized Modeling & Simulation (M&S) software, enabling centralized data consumption across multiple mission programs while ensuring data quality, validation, and traceability.Develop a deep understanding of Aerospace customer mission operations and requirements to translate mission needs into technical data specifications and integration solutions.Provide hands‑on technical support for M&S software tools across multiple customer programs, including configuration, customization, troubleshooting, simulation execution support, and results validation.Build and maintain data transformation logic and adapters to convert enterprise data formats into simulation‑ready representations while preserving semantic meaning of mission datasets (e.g., orbital parameters, spacecraft configurations, sensor characteristics, environmental models).Support migration of embedded legacy data to modern Data Management platforms, ensuring data integrity and establishing patterns for reusable, centralized data management versus software‑embedded datasets.Serve as technical liaison between data management teams, M&S software developers, mission analysts, and stakeholders across diverse programs with varying requirements and classification levels.Develop scripts, utilities, and automation tools to streamline data preparation, ingestion, post‑processing workflows, and optimize data schemas and access patterns for M&S workloads.Collaborate with multiple customer programs simultaneously, adapting integration approaches to meet varying operational timelines and priorities while participating in technical reviews and program meetings.Responsibilities Design and implement data pipelines
